If you read between the lines in this legislation it basically has no teeth and the so-called "welfare" of the animals is clearly not the priority. This legislation has more holes than swiss cheese. Obviously the AKC's primary concern in its lobbying is to protect breeders from "overregulation." When I saw Rick Santorum's was a primary force behind this bill that is all I needed to know. Last year, even after the hurricane disasters experienced by our country, Santorum spearheaded an effort to prevent the National Weather Service from providing free weather information to individuals. Why would he do such a thing? The weather forecasting company Accuweather is a major contributor of his.
